Pasadena Energy Upgrade Workshop

SoCalGas has increased its incentives for customers served by municipal utilities in the Los Angeles County area who participate in the Energy Upgrade California program. These municipalities include the cities of Azusa, Burbank, Glendale, Los Angeles, and Pasadena. The incentives being offered by SoCalGas are in addition to the rebates LA County currently offers. When combined with SoCalGas' incentives, customers could benefit from up to $8,000 for home energy-efficiency improvements.

Now through September 1, 2012, the Basic Upgrade Package, which includes sealing air leaks and installing insulation, and typically yields up to $320 in incentives, has increased to $1,000. The Advanced Upgrade Package has increased from $1,280 to $4,000 in incentives, which may include installing energy-efficient windows, duct replacement, a high-efficiency furnace, better heating and cooling systems, and high-efficiency water-heating systems. The more energy a homeowner saves, the higher the incentive.

To promote these temporary incentives, Energy Upgrade California in LA County and the City of Pasadena will sponsor a free energy efficiency workshop in Pasadena on August 18th from 11:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m .

Join Energy Upgrade LA at this informative workshop to learn about the “whole house” solution to energy use, which can result in:

• Reduced utility bills
• Improved house comfort
• Healthier indoor air quality
• Reduced impact on the environment

 Energy Upgrade California is a program that was created to help California reduce energy use.  This collaboration among California investor-owned utilities, counties, cities and non-profit organizations offers incentives and rebates to customers who make upgrades designed to make the energy systems in their home work together efficiently, thus lowering utility bills and improving the home’s efficiency and comfort.
